  • Bruins' Hampus Lindholm: Opens scoring Tuesday

    Lindholm scored a goal and added four PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

    Lindholm tallied the opening goal at 13:16 of the first period. He's earned three points over six outings since returning from an undisclosed injury. The 32-year-old defenseman is still seeing key defensive minutes and some power-play time. He's at four goals, 17 points, 66 shots on net, 69 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 40 appearances this season.

  • Dante Fabbro D | CLB

    Blue Jackets' Dante Fabbro: Won't play Wednesday

    Fabbro (lower body) won't play Wednesday versus Philadelphia, according to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

    Fabbro has three goals, seven points, 16 PIM, 48 shots, 42 hits and 81 blocks in 48 appearances in 2025-26. He's missed Columbus' past three games due to the injury. The 27-year-old typically serves on the third pairing when he is healthy.

  • Ryan Pulock D | NYI

    Islanders' Ryan Pulock: Deemed game-time decision

    Pulock (upper body) is considered a game-time decision ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Rangers, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

    After leaving last Wednesday's game against Seattle due to an upper-body injury, Pulock has a chance to return to the lineup following a two-game absence. The Islanders made space in their crowded defensive core Tuesday when they sent Isaiah George down to AHL Bridgeport. Through 50 games this season, Pulock has posted solid all-around numbers with 21 points, 62 shots on net, 34 hits and 93 blocked shots. If the 31-year-old blueliner returns Wednesday, he'll likely slot into the third defensive pairing alongside Carson Soucy, who will get his shot at revenge against the Rangers, who traded him Monday.

  • Ben Chiarot D | DET

    Red Wings' Ben Chiarot: Inks three-year extension

    Chiarot agreed to terms on a three-year, $11.55 million contract extension with Detroit on Wednesday.

    Chiarot was scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but instead, he has tied himself to the Wings for what will likely be the last three years of his career. In his 54 outings this year, the 34-year-old defenseman has generated four goals on 64 shots, seven assists and 109 hits while averaging 21:07 of ice time.

  • Ryker Evans D | SEA

    Kraken's Ryker Evans: Goals in consecutive contests

    Evans scored a goal, added two hits and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Capitals.

    Evans has tallied in consecutive contests after going eight games without a point. The defenseman was scratched in Boston on Jan. 15, and while he should play most games, he could occasionally give way to Cale Fleury or Josh Mahura. Evans is at five goals, 12 points, 26 shots on net, 23 hits, 38 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 37 appearances, mainly in a third-pairing role.

  • Canucks' Tom Willander: Opens scoring in loss

    Willander scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.

    Willander missed Sunday's game versus the Penguins due to an illness, but he made a quick impact in his return to the lineup. Willander may see steadier playing time going forward while Zeev Buium (face) is out of action. Willander has three goals, 15 points, 37 shots on net, 38 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 41 appearances this season. Considering he's in a third-pairing role on a bad team, he's done fairly well on offense as a rookie.

  • Filip Hronek D | VAN

    Canucks' Filip Hronek: Nets power-play tally

    Hronek scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two hits, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.

    Hronek has two goals and two helpers over the last five games. The 28-year-old defenseman continues to be steady enough on offense to make up for the downsides of playing on a bad team. Hronek is at five goals, 31 points, 74 shots on net, 81 hits, 73 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 53 appearances. He'll go uncontested for the top power-play job while Zeev Buium (face) is on injured reserve, making Hronek a quality all-around target in fantasy.

  • Sharks' Sam Dickinson: Earns first multi-point effort

    Dickinson logged two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

    Dickinson earned his first career multi-point effort by helping out on goals by Macklin Celebrini and Tyler Toffoli in the first period. With five helpers over his last 13 games, Dickinson has found a little more success on offense. The 19-year-old blueliner is at eight points, 38 shots on net, 38 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 42 appearances. He's done a lot of learning on the job this year, but the future remains bright for the 11th overall pick from 2024.

  • Sharks' John Klingberg: One of each on power play

    Klingberg scored a goal on four shots and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.

    Klingberg's pair of points came on the power play. The 33-year-old has maintained his place on the top unit despite earning just one assist over six games entering Tuesday. The blueliner is up to 10 goals, 19 points (nine on the power play), 63 shots on net, 52 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 38 appearances. He's sharing enough ice with Macklin Celebrini to at least be intriguing in fantasy.

  • Blackhawks' Louis Crevier: Registers assist

    Crevier logged an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Wild.

    Crevier had gone seven games without a point after missing two contests due to an illness. The 24-year-old defenseman continues to handle top-four minutes, but he's in more of a shutdown role. Crevier has put up 15 points, 75 shots on net, 79 hits, 50 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 50 outings this season.
